aneesheam oh what a tangled web we weave when first we attempt to decieve so now you have to untangle it.there is only one way to do this , and I am sure you know just exactly what that is.You must tell each brother the truth. You should have done this the first time the other brother started courting you; look you cannot have a relationship with them both. You must pick one or the other or give up and find another boy friend entirely. Which one do you prefer over the other one? Start with the truth right there. You made this mess,nobody else did.Cannot you say no to one or the other? this is unfair to both of them., Why are you afraid as if you are afraid there must be some reason. Do they have bad tempers, what is the reason you fear this, granted you should not have e ever started dating the other brother but you did so now you must untangle this mess. If they are really caring for you surely they are not going to explode and hurt you? If you fear this get a family member to be with you while you talk to them, try to get them together then get a brother or uncle or some male relative to be with you to sort of referee things.If they are that hostile you should not be dating them anyway..

If you have the guts to tell them, go ahead. I think it's the right thing to do. If you're really interested with one of two, you have no choice but to let him know. Eventually they'll find out about it anyway. And when they do, the first thing they'll question is why you didn't let them know in the first place. Anyway but if you're not really interested in going out with either one of them, maybe you can get away without saying anything about it. And leave the situation to them to handle when time comes that they'll find out about it.

Tell them both straightaway. I can think of no other alternative. Have a nice day!

Tell both of them the truth. If you're avoiding the situation where both of them will fight (or anything of some sort), then you will really get into trouble if you hide it. If it's one thing the we hate (or not comfortable with ... ) is surprises. Believe me I've been through the similar situation (with one of my friends) where we both had our eyes on one girl then got dumped at the same time because of the girl (herself) wouldn't want to see us fight and ruin our friendship just because of her. (Okay I'll stop here because I'm becoming emotional already) XD Good Luck ;)

I think you should get them both together and tell them both at the same time that how you feel and let them sort it out between themselves, after all blood is thicker than water and even though they may not get along, at the end of the day they are still brothers and will probably stick up for each other. You don't want them blaming you for any hard feelings they have between each other. I wish you the best of luck with your problem.

I think the first to thing you have to do is to tell them that they're both courting the same person. I believe it will lessen the pressure on all of you. It's always wise to be honest. =)

Why? Are they the jealous sort? Violent? In that case, surely you must realize neither one is good marriage or even boyfriend material! Or, is it you? Don't you believe they deserve honesty? Just what do you want from either one? What sort of relationship do you expect if you can't be open with them? Honesty & communication are prime in any real relationship. Anyway, they may not know about one another now, but eventually they'll find out, & if you haven't told them first, how kindly will they think of you then? You need to show a bit of maturity about this. Gently inform them. Then hope for the best. Maggiepie “I can't stand the stupid idiots in here. Can we get smarter idiots?" ~ LOLcats caption

I will tell you like some of the others have told you. They are brothers whether they get along or not. It would be your best and theirs that they know. If you like them both then you need to find the one that is more into you and you the same and tell the other one that you are dating his brother and that you can't see him no more. If for some reason that you can't do that then don't date either one of them. That Probably would be in your best interest.

Hi, Dating two people at the same time is dangerous in itself, but to be dating two brothers is really asking for someone to get hurt, both physically and emotionally. You are holding all the cards in this games. The brother are totally oblivious to what is going on. Can you imagaine them getting together for lunch and talking about their girlfriend and how beautiful and wonderful she is and the both of them think that she,(you) is "the one?" Nip this diaster in the bud!! Tell them the truth and make a decision as to whom you want to be with or better yet let them both go and start over in an honest relationship.

I think the best thing to do is to tell them but do a little reverse psychology . For example, when one texts or calls you up, and start to get all sweet, tell him this, or something similar: "Could you and your brother please stop messing round with me. If you don't have anything better to do, please don't treat me as your pass time. If you think that courting the same girl is a great pass time, think again." Just play around with the words. Tell both of them this :) They'll get shocked that theyre bth courting the same girl, without you messing up their friendship, because of you tell them upfront, one (or both) may think that the other is messing around with him by courting the same girl

First of all you should decide how serious you are with either of them . Then you should tell them about the whole situation. Its not all your fault. It happens in life but life goes on . You should be courageous enough to handle this type of situations.
